It is an unfortunate situation when we have to arrest one of our own. Today, we charged Officer Joey Diaz with Battery for a domestic-related incident which occurred on April 2, 2018. pic.twitter.com/TNXzPMgHFc

According to the arrest report, Diaz, 33, was arguing with his wife outside their home. Investigators said the law enforcer then pushed and grabbed his wife by the throat and applied pressure to her neck.

The victim said that she experienced difficulty breathing as a result.

Diaz was charged with domestic battery by strangulation.

His arrest comes nearly two weeks after Miami Police Officer Kyle Centeno was charged with a similar crime.

Officials said Centeno handcuffed his girlfriend and put her in the back of his squad car during a fight.

Both officers have been relieved of duty with pay.
